The H.O.M.E. Program

The H.O.M.E. Program at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business is a signature four-year personal and professional development experience designed specifically for undergraduate business students. Rooted in reflection, community, and purpose, the program empowers students to engage in meaningful exploration of self and identity throughout their college journey.
Program Overview
H.O.M.E. begins with an immersive overnight retreat and continues through a series of monthly workshops and curated modules. These sessions provide space for students to explore essential life questions through guided reflection, small-group discussions, and expert-led sessions. The program’s philosophy is grounded in the idea that a meaningful life leads to deep personal and societal value.
Participants are encouraged to define their own “North Star”, a guiding purpose that aligns with their values, strengths, and aspirations. Through a blend of experiential learning and community dialogue, students gain the tools to navigate their academic, professional, and personal paths with clarity and resilience.
